What am I 3D printing today?

Takes up almost my whole build plate. Sitting at 18 hours of a 23.5 hour print right now.

It looks like you are preparing to invade a sovereign nation in Eastern Europe and have some concerns about their stocks of javelin missiles.

Yeah...I'm disappointed. It's printing great so far, but I think it's too big to fit the tank. The person recommended the measurements for 1/16 scale and I think he was way off. Oh well, I guess when it finishes I'll re-adjust the sizing and reprint. It will be smaller so it will print faster.

Damn!!, is that to be considered too soon ??

Put me in for one

[tankme]

Just as I thought...it was too big. At least I printed my mistake in ABS which is cheaper than most materials. I also learned it doesn't do well with the supports for the cage. Three of the supports broke pretty easily. When I resize it I think I will try it in PETG which will probably be stronger for the supports. The cage itself is plenty strong and the supports I used came off really easily.

Looks great! I will have one for sure as making one from brass would be a weapons grade bitch

Reprinting it in ASA smaller so that it actually fits. Tried PETG, but it was giving me too many headaches today.

The cage roof could stay in any printed material, but I would go with brass angle legs just to secure them to the turret with a bit of brute force!
Got to get my finger out & actually get a T90
